Maybe to suck every drop of blood of some free 1Ko/s accounts before they get closed for such abuses?Or to kill a brand new hard drive?Do you have more than a hundred paid threads on giganews and lives in somalia?Anyway, so many thread doesn't sound very "NG's spirit"

BTW i'm not joking, i'm really eager to know the meaning of such a request.

Well, I believe I have explained this to someone in the past. Its simple really, on a 4mbit line i can download at a maximum of rougly 420kb/s. Given a maximum speed of say 1kb/s per thread, or even a generous 2kb/s, 100 threads merely adds up to 200kb/s. This is all give or a take on a small margin ofcourse. But i trust you get the general idea

EDIT: Oh and if i'm going to have to explain why i'm using this particular news server my pants wil probably explode. Just believe me when i say i'm kind of limited.
